[Question] Good IDE for GUI development ? #1234

Open enorrmann opened 4 years ago

enorrmann commented 4 years ago

Hi ! I'm trying to start coding and experimenting with some changes and I'm trying to understand the project structure. I would like to start by trying some changes in the main GUI, for instance adding a "multi rack" view. Is there a recommended IDE for coding for the gui ? I'm trying KDevelop but it only opens the files in text mode. Thanks !

kdevelop is what I use. I dont bother with the gdb or error check integration though. there is a kdevelop project file in the source dir of carla

Thanks ! Just to clarify .. does KDevelop have some kind of "visual" editing for the GUI ? or do you just edit the .ui files in text mode ?

falkTX commented 4 years ago

For UI files you edit with Qt Designer tool.
